sunset at Paradise Island Resort, Samal Island, Davao del NorteMost of us miss out on life's big prizes. The Pulitzer. The Nobel. Oscars. Tonys. Emmys. But we're all eligible for life's small pleasures. A pat on the back. A kiss behind the ear. A four-pound bass. A full moon. An empty parking space. A cracking fire. A great meal. A glorious sunset. Hot soup. Cold beer. Don't fret about copping life's grand awards. Enjoy its tiny delights. There are plenty for all of us.

Nice photo and words Miranda. You are so right - it's life's little pleasures that are so rewarding.
Paradise Island is aptly named. This is a beautiful, golden shot.
Thank you for being a part of Sky Watch this week, your post and comments are much appreciated.

A postcard from Paradise ??
Nice weekend from Anne in Norway.
Beautiful.
wonderful image, excellent.
nice one for SWF! Sunrise and sunset are the prime hours for beach fishing.... The summer saltwater fly-fishing season is now in full swing. The great charm of fly-fishing is that we are always learning, no matter how long we have been at it, we are constantly making some fresh productive insights, picking up some new clever trick. First day of fishing and we were at the sea at a reasonable time, The sky was getting nicely colored as we started to pack up. If fishing is like religion, then fly-fishing is high church... LoL! Until next week!
wow! Perfect shot! Happy SWF! We had the sky up there, all speckled with stars, and we used to lay on our backs and look up at them, and discuss about whether they was made or only just happened... mine's up too hope you can drop by.
LOVELY scene! :)
wow. that is really pretty! what time did you take it? was it in the morning or at night? very cool!
absolutely beautiful with the reflection of such yellow colors on the water
This is one of the islands that i am planning to visit next year for my mindanao quest.
Wonderful words and thoughts and a very beautiful waterscape. But most spectacular of all is your title photo!!!! Lovely.

Your sunset is so beautiful, it allow us to think about life pleasures. And you're right, all these small pleasures worth a famous prize and popularity.
Oh yeah! This looks like paradise:)

I will never understand how people can not notice these simple and yet so beautiful things.
Great shot!
Very beautiful photo. My one big regret in life was my failure to see a lot of my country before I left for the States. I now see it through the eyes of people like you.
My compliments, btw, on another great quote to accompany the picture. I enjoy reading them just to let you know. :)
A beautiful photo and very wise words. Thanks.
golden beauty

We have 7,100+ islands here, kaya maraming paradise photos.:D Ayaw mo kasing magbakasyon e.
Good to know that your son is home now. Take care, Gizelle.
Miranda, very great job! And you know what, the words on your post taught me alot about life. I always got the chance of silence and trying to realize those small things that make me happy. Even nga ung mga talahib na lumilipad, super napapasaya na ako nun! I'm a very dramatic person kasi jeje
Thanks also for dropping by Cavite Daily Photo! I hope to see you sooN!
God Bless and Mabuhay!

Hi, Steven! ."..and forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair." This beautiful quote by Kahlil Gibran popped on top of my head when I read your comment. Don't stop appreciating life's simple delights.
Thanks for visiting.
Beautiful :)
